Overview
āAn essay is the child of uncertainty,ā AndreĢ Aciman contends in his introduction toĀ The Best American Essays 2020. āThe struggle to write what one hopes is entirely true,Ā and the long incubation every piece of writing requires of a writer who is thinking difficult thoughts, are what ultimately give the writing its depth, its magnitude, its grace.ā The Ā essays Aciman selected center on people facing moments of deep uncertainty, searching for a greater truth. From a Black fatherās confrontation of his sonās illness, to a divorceĢeāsĀ transcendent experience with strangers, to a bartender grieving the tragic loss of a friend, these stories are a master class not just in essay writing but in empathy, artfully imbuingĀ moments of hardship with understanding and that elusive grace.Ā
